If I could put it on a VM, I would definitely consider it. Unfortunately, due to the fact that these machines are not really 'servers' or 'workstations' but instead 'automation/test platforms', that is not really a possibility. The OS on these machines need direct access to the hardware. Often, the drivers/software are doing horrible things under the surface to windows to make it work. Adding a VM layer just isn't practical in this case. National Instruments describes it best:
lies, VM is perfect, everyone says so, must be true.
